CBT - Compulsory Basic Training
This is the starting point for all trainee motorcyclists and
is normally a days training. The first part of the CBT is conducted
on an off road manoeuvring area where you will ride the machine
until competent. This part of the training incorporates all
of the basic riding skills, i.e. use of the controls, moving
away and stopping, slow riding, changing gear, turning left
and right etc. You will then ride the machine on the road for
at least two hours. During the road ride your instructor, who
will be in radio contact, will accompany you, giving you both
directions and tuition. The training will end when you are able
to ride on the road, on your own, safely. After completing the
CBT you will then be allowed to ride on your own, on the road
with 'L' plates for up to two years. After this period you will
then either re take your CBT or have passed your full motorcycle
test in order to continue riding. The cost per person is £130.
NB: At 16yrs you can ride up to a 50cc. At 17yrs and over
you can ride up to 125cc.
